The
new fifth and sixth bands of the Standard 6 unit are primarily
designed to be attached to the hands, so as to be able to
apply a loading to the arms and shoulders while at the same
time doing lower body explosive drills. The patented
Vertimax (Standard 6, Pro 6 and Elite 8) is the only
system available that simultaneously loads the legs and arm
swing when vertical jump training. This
capability recognizes the importance of obtaining maximum
upward arm velocity at liftoff to achieve break-through new
heights in an athlete's vertical jump. The Standard 6 eclipses
weight vest training and standard
plyometric training inasmuch as the delts, traps, and spinal
erectors also experience controlled loading for strength development
while performing naturally sequenced sports movements. One
set of Hand Straps come standard with the Standard 6.
Training
Benefits:
Increases the explosive power of all major muscle groups in the legs to improve
the vertical jump and acceleration/deceleration capabilities. 5th and
6th resistance bands can be attached the the hands so both arms and legs can
be loaded when jump training to provide an improved jump training response. 5th
and 6th bands can also be attached to the shoe to engage in kicking drills
to improve kicking power.
Number of Resistance Bands and Resistance Settings:
The Standard 6 has six resistance bands - two emerging from the left side
of the platform, two emerging from the right side of the platform and two
bands routed on the top side of the platform that can be attached to the
hands or feet. The resistance of each of the six cords can be individually
adjusted to suit the user's needs by extracting the cords out of the machine
through the resistance adjustment cam cleats.
Primary
On-Platform Exercises:
1) Vertical Jump Training (Quarter Quick or Half Quick) - Many sports-specific
explosive exercises can be performed but our "Basic Training Routine" consisting
of 'Quarter Quick' and 'Half Quick' explosive jumps will produce immediate
and outstanding improvements in an athlete's time out of the blocks, his vertical
jump, and his 40 times!
2) Hip
Flexor Training - This rarely trained muscle group is imperative
for improving speed. VertiMax allows you to isolate and develop
the explosive power of this muscle in each leg to optimally improve
speed. One set of Hip Flexor Attachments come standard with each
Standard 6, and can be used to perform exercises such as running
in place, thigh drives, and other sports specific movements which
will markedly improve thigh recovery time for sprinters, skaters,
running backs, etc.
3) Vertical
Jump Training with Arm Loading - Athlete can attach resistance
cords to both the waist and the hands for an improved jump training
response. The patented V6 unit is the only system available that
simultaneously loads the legs and arm swing when vertical jump
training. This capability recognizes the importance of obtaining
maximum upward arm velocity at liftoff to achieve break-through
new heights in an athlete's vertical jump. This V6 eclipses weight
vest training and standard plyometric training inasmuch as
the delts, traps, and spinal erectors also experience controlled
loading for strength development while performing naturally sequenced
sports movements. One set of Hand Straps come standard with
the V6. n addition to the arm loading during vertical jump training,
the photos above show multiple loading applied during the running
motion. Here, the quads, gluts, hip flexor and calves are
loaded for superior drive and acceleration (with bands attached
to the hips and using the hip flexor attachment - behind the knees). It's
well known that arm swing speed and leg movement are tied together
- the faster you move your arms, the faster you can move your legs.
This resistive training methodology integrates all major muscle
groups to provide the optimal training response for speed and first-step-quickness. 4)
Kick Training - Athletes can attach the 5th and 6th resistance cords
to their feet and perform kicking drills to improve kicking power
and distance. Primary Off-Platform
Exercises: NOT ALLOWED!
The Standard 6 unit does not allow off platform training where the athlete
can step off the platform to perform exercises while resistance cords are attached
to their body.
